One thing about doing some form of renovation in the house is... once you revamp one area, there's no telling what could happen. In my case, the refrigerator that short-circuited and burnt part of the kitchen started it all. The re-painting that was done in the kitchen prompted me to repaint the utility room and basement. With the repainting and improvement comes the buying of new refrigerator for the kitchen. I was justified in buying a new ref because it was burnt.

Ethan said that I should buy a new television too. Truth be told my TV is archaic and you have to wait 5-10 minutes before the sound comes on. The only sound my TV makes in the first 5-10 minutes is a pulsating tok-tok-tok-tok-tok which increases in tempo if the sound is about to be heard. There was a time that the TV went on for an eternity making the tok-tok-tok sound. I had to turn the TV off but the tok-tok sound still went on so I had to unplug the TV for the irritating sound to stop. I bought a new TV.

As I sit in the dining area, I can see my 7 year old sofa. I am now seriously considering if I need contemporary sofas to change the ambiance of my living space.
